Bali will soon establish a special board to manage natural disasters, Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said in Denpasar on Friday.
He said that the board would work to minimize various social problems, including fatalities and material losses, which could be inflicted if a natural disaster struck the province.
"The establishment of the Disaster Management Board is based on meticulous planning and study and it is expected to be effective by the middle of this year," the governor said, as quoted by Antara.
He said that the board was of great importance for Bali, which is the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia.
"The new board is expected to be able to map disaster-prone areas in the province and will study the possible risks of any disaster," Governor Pastika said. (dre)
